C64x Unboxing videos

As I've said more than once, It's not really my cup of tea but at the end of the day, it's a real product that they got to market. You have to give them credit for at least that much.

I keep seeing people say that but, I'm not sure what you are comparing it to when you say that?

If you want OS4 buy a Sam, If you want MorphOS buy a Mac, if you want Aros get a PC?

I'm comparing it to the expectation that it would never happen, which was quite a pervasive opinion not that long ago.

OK, that makes sense. I guess I didn't get it because I never really had a doubt that they would put it out. I've just been so verbal about it because they've been dicks the whole time......

Well, in short, they "stole" a lot of their early info from Amiga fans and tried to pass it off as their own designs.  Then they started threatening people with cut & paste legal letters for the internet, then they started threatening and insulting anyone who pointed any of this out or who disagreed with their business model.  Then they started trying to pass off any other company they bought components off or purchased advertising space from as either "their facilities" or "their hand-in-hand partner".  Let's not mention the lies behind the sales numbers and production runs where they couldn't work out between them whether cases had been shipped, were being produced, were still prototypes, etc.  Hell, the C64x was supposedly shipped once a couple of months ago (says Spammy) only for Leo to then post that they were still trying to decide whether to include a mouse in the package (hard to put something in a box that has already been mailed), and as you can see, the first deliveries have only just happened.  Oh, and the threats, homophobic remarks and lies just keep on coming.  Did you see the the pictures of "their factory in China" showing thousands of motherboards apparently being shipped, only for The Daddy to find the link to the same photographs showing it to be 2 years old and of a factory in Germany?  Classic stuff!

If they just came clean and said that they were a PC reseller, operating on a shoestring budget from a small building in a Florida business mall then they would get a lot of respect.  Unfortunately, the community has had its fill of lies over the years and the pure unprofessionalism of the company doesn't bode well for after-sales support.

C-USA has had months to turn around, apologize for past mistakes and reboot their image.  It seems that they are led by people with character flaws running so deep that they can't even manage that.

That's the problem.  

I think I'm going to start cutting and pasting this paragraph every time someone comes in and starts calling us whinner's and bullies for being anti-C-USA.

We don't hate their product folks!! We just don't like them.

[spihunter]

So, you don't like C-USA because they lie and cheat...
Got it..

Hey, have you ever heard of this guy named Jack Tramiel??
:lol:

desiv

Hey, I never said that no other company has had PR problems!.

[spihunter]

Really?
The mobo/cpu combination is worth slightly under $100,
TRY DOUBLE THAT

KEYBOARD? STOCK DAS KEYBOARD SELLS FOR APPROX $150
CASE? PRICELESS

Now you're up to $350, add a card reader,HDD, DVD drive, PCI mini WiFi/BT module, chassis bracket, memory, power switch/led, color carton, manual, rubber feet, logo badge, shipping carton, custom wire harness, fan, UL power suppply, labor, insurance, overhead, royalty payments, and profit.

Forget the busty blonde nympho call girl, you'll have just enough left for a toothless crack whore, if you're lucky. maybe.

I wish I could cut and paste that onto the "About Us" section of the C-USA website......

You mean like every Apple iMac ever made?

Also:

looks like it runs Crysis (a ca. 2008 game) better than the A1 runs Quake II, a ca. 1997 game...

My 5 year old Dell laptop could probably run it better then an A1 as well. What's your point?

[spihunter]

I think that is what truly annoys the anti-C=USA trolls, success.

The sad part is that you actually believe that.......
